Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 14, 2011 / Notices
Metallic Mineral Processing Plants (40
CFR part 60, subpart LL) were
promulgated on February 21, 1984, and
amended on October 17, 2000. This
NSPS affects both owners and operators
of metallic mineral processing plants.
Owners and operators must conduct
initial performance tests, maintain
records of startups, shutdowns,
malfunctions, and continuous
monitoring system parameters, and
submit semiannual reports. These
notifications, reports, and records are
essential in determining compliance;
and, in general, are required of all
sources subject to NSPS.
Notifications are to inform the Agency
or delegated authority when a source
becomes subject to the standard. The
reviewing authority may then inspect
the source to check if the pollution
control devices are properly installed
and operating, and that the standards
are being met. Performance test reports
are required as these are the Agency’s
records of a source’s initial capability to
comply with the emission standards and
to serve as a record of the operating
conditions under which compliance are
to be achieved. The information
generated by monitoring, recordkeeping,
and reporting requirements described in
this ICR are used by the Agency to
ensure that facilities affected by the
standard continue to operate the control
equipment and achieve continuous
compliance with the regulation.
All reports are sent to the delegated
state or local authority. In the event that
there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart LL, as
authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of
the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been
determined to be private.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. The OMB Control
Numbers for the EPA regulations are
listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR
chapter 15, and are identified on the
form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 52 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
VerDate Mar<15>2010

technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Metallic mineral processing plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
20.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
2,306.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$233,712, which includes $220,712 in
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and
$13,000 in operation and maintenance
(O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor hours to the
respondents in this ICR compared to the
previous ICR. After consulting the
Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards (OAQPS) and trade
associations, our data indicates that
there are approximately 20 sources
subject to the rule, with no additional
new sources over the next three years.
However, there is an increase in the
estimated burden cost as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
approved Burdens. The increase is not
due to any program changes, but the
change in burden is due to the use of the
most updated labor rates.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
